Blue Press Journal – Former President Donald Trump unleashed a scathing tirade against members of his own ‘Make America Great Again’ (MAGA) base on Wednesday, accusing them of succumbing to a “hoax” regarding the Jeffrey Epstein files and emphatically declaring, “I don’t want their support anymore!”
In a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump expressed fury at supporters who have continued to scrutinize his administration’s handling of materials related to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein. He specifically blamed his fans for their sustained interest, despite what he described as his repeated pleas for them to “move on.”
“Their new SCAM is what we will forever call the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax, and my PAST supporters have bought into this ‘bullshit,’ hook, line, and sinker,” Trump wrote, signaling his frustration with a segment of his most loyal followers.
Trump’s admonition, however, comes despite efforts by his own team that inadvertently fueled interest in the Epstein files among his base. Notably, Attorney General Pam Bondi, who served in Trump’s administration, told Fox News in February that Epstein’s client list “was sitting on [her] desk,” a comment that likely spurred further curiosity and speculation.
Jeffrey Epstein died by suicide in federal prison in August 2019, just a month after being arrested on charges of sex trafficking minors. His death occurred during Trump’s first term in office. While Trump has consistently sought to distance himself from Epstein, the two men maintained a well-documented, years-long friendship prior to Epstein’s arrest and death.
The extraordinary rebuke marks a rare public instance of the former president directly attacking a segment of his most loyal supporters, signaling a potential shift in his approach to internal dissent within the MAGA movement.
